cannot talk about this affair without talking about libya and benghazi. all of this was going on. he knew the fbi was investigating him for this affair while he was talking to congress about what happened on september 11th in benghazi, and during the initial report to congress in early september, he told them he felt it was a spontaneous attack, not a result of terrorism, and that this had nothing to do with al- qaida. he didn't mention that at all. now he knew they were investigating him for an afair. so when you say is there more to this, does it raise the question about whether there's a possible connection between what he said to congress and what he knew the fbi was investigating him for. >> did they try to shut him down in his testimony to congress? >> did he go the party line? is. >> that is a legitimate question. the man who would be doing that logically is james clapper. who is james clapper? >> the national defense intelligence -- >> d & i. >> clapper didn't want him to say anything about the benghazi rollout. why? because it's so damaging. >> it's damaging to the press den see,

in benghazi and the presence and captured libyan terrorists. the statement came during a speech at hurt, moderate, the university of denver on october 26. the cia flat at denies that any terrorists were held in benghazi. this is part of that cia statement, reading in the suggestion that the agency is still in the detention business is uninformed, and baseless. fox news is siding to sources in benghazi and a high level official in washington, off three of whom corroborate the statements about the holding of terrorists. coincidentally or not, that 26 of october is the same day that to journalists for foreign policy magazine discovered classified documents detailing security concerns in benghazi. they found those documents lying on the floor of what remained of the u.s. consulate. that, three weeks after the fbi had finally made its way to benghazi to conduct an investigation, an investigation that took less than a day. there has been no explanation as to why the fbi left those classified state department papers on the ground. adding to the coincidences' c'mon the 26 of october, it was on

testy when asked about the white house spin and the benghazi terror attack. >> if senator mccain and senator graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me. >> the president of the united states did not tell the american people the truth about the attacks that took four grave americans' lives that went on for eight, seven hours for which we were totally unprepared. >> how did the media handle this showdown? a new scandal involving now former cia director general petraeus and an extramarital affair, a florida socialite, a bare chested fbi agent and is this a concern or a washington smoke screen? >> i don't think anyone on either side of the aisle underestimates the difficulties. >> both sides work to gain the high ground in dealing with the looming fiscal cliff, but the media seem to be one-sided in the details. which side do you think they're on? and it's in with the new, but are the old staying, too. >> oh, you've always asked that question except to mitch mcconnell. >> on the panel this week, writer and fox news contributor judy miller. jove oldman, talk r

.vitac.com >>> hello, everyone, i'm ashley banfield. it's 11:00 on the east coast. petraeus, benghazi, pelosi. questions, investigation, big decisions. three huge stories of the hour and we start with one that is a half dozen stories or more all tangled up in one. i speak of course of what we called petraeus affair. those were simple times, earlier this week. today, it's the petraeus, broadwell, kelley, mass humiliation story. we're in between bombshells. they just keep dropping. but the details do keep coming. for instance, the florida socialite seen here. around whom everything seems to revolve. that's jill kelley. not only is she a volunteer liz to macdill air force base in tampa, she is an honorary consul of south korea. it's not a real office, but it helps to explain one of the newer developments in this story. a phone call to 911 made this weekend when mrs. kelley spotted some uninvited guests from the media on her property. >> i'm an honorary consul general, so i have involablety. i don't know if you want to get diplomatic protection involved as well, but now they -- >> i don't really

about the benghazi terror attacks before house and senate committees. jenna: a major development. friday he stepped down as america's top spy when he admitted to having an affair with his biographer, paula broadwell. we're expected to get comments about the growing scandal when he open has his first news conference since re-election. that will happen in two hours and we'll have it when it does. doug mckelway is live for us. doug? >> reporter: former cia director david petraeus voluntarily agreed to testify before house and senate intelligence committees. fox has learned he will speak off site on friday to the senate intelligence committee about the libya report. presumably that it means his testimony will be closed and not open to the public. recall that director petraeus briefed intelligence committees on september 14th, three days after the benghazi attack and said that the attack was akin to a flashmob that is explanation moments ago chairman of the house homeland security committee peter king suggested may have been dishonest. >> i was just talking to frank lobioni on the intelligenc

reporters the president will have a statement reacting to this. the benghazi story, the terror attack is something that has put pressure on this white house and put pressure on senior intelligence officials like general petraeus. this is a complete surprise. there was note idea he would step down. the statement coming across earlier, reporters have been expressing carney on whether the president still had confidence in general petraeus and he said he did an excellent job as c.i.a. director and went on to say that he had no personnel announcement. it is obvious he was being careful in what he said and he knew that something was bubbling up. the statement coming from the director of the national intelligence, that confirmed that david petraeus is stepping down. he did not site a reason. it is clear that the white house secretary was being careful because this was playing out just in the last few moments. again, we are told the president will have a statement on this shortly. trace? >>trace: stand by for a second because we have been getting a lot of possible reasons. we will not go with

the benghazi story has put a lot of pressure on senior intelligence officials. >> greta: fast forward to today, leon panetta announces the pentagon is investigating general john allen nominated to be the european command and commander of nato forces in europe. for now that nomination is on hold. general allen is accused of exchanging thousands of inappropriate e-mails with jill kelley. >> it is simply a fact that is the white house was not aware of a situation regarding general petraeus until wednesday. >> greta: time for congress to man up and get the facts. four americans have been murdered in libya and the obama administration is still dragging its feet two months later still not telling the story. former director david petraeus knows about benghazi, two weeks ago he was in lib qa ya to conduct his own investigation of september 11th attack. should he be forced to testify before congress? we spoke to lindsay graham a short time ago. >> senator, nice to see you. congressman, they have written a letter tha saying a select committee to what happened in benz? >> john mccain and myself we will i

americans in libya? >> obviously the, the benghazi story, the terror attack, has put a lot of pressure on the white house and the senior intelligence officials, like general petraeus. this is a complete surprise. >> the timing is too perfect for the obama administration, just as the administration claimed it was purely coincidence that the benghazi consulate was attacked on september 11. now it's purely coincidence that the extra-marital affair surfaces right after the election, not before, but right after. but before the intelligence chiefs going to capital hill to be grilled. >> we had heard speculation that he may have resigned for personal reasons. one of the reason, we were getting word of was the possibility of an extra-marital affair. we have confirmed it. a letter has been smut submitted by david petraeus himself. >> just got off the phone with someone who has talked with general petraeus, just the past few moments. the message was, a couple of points. one was, tell the truth. it was my request. the white house didn't pressure me to do this. this had nothing to do with benghazi

the coming tax cliff? plus, the petraeus scandal further muddies the benghazi probe. was the account of this in any way related to his affair. and the u.s. on track to be be the largest oil producer, but will the obama administration let it happen or turn an oil boom into a bust? welcome to the journal editorial report, i'm paul gigot. headed into friday, fiscal cliff talks with congressional leaders, president obama gave us a hit list of his negotiations strategies, repeating his intention to immediately raise tax rates on top earners. >> when it comes to the top 2%, what i'm not going to do is to extend further a tax cut for folks who don't need it which would cost close to a trillion dollars and it's very difficult to see how you make up that trillion dollars if we're serious about deficit reduction, just by closing loopholes and deductions. the math tends not to work. >> paul: but does the president's math add up? let's ask wall street journal columnist bill mcguerin, and analyst steve moore and washington columnist kim strassel. so, kim, the president won reelection, was this th

dead americans in libya. >> the terror attack, benghazi, has put a lot of pressure on this white house. and a lot of pressure on senior intelligence officials, like general david petraeus. thls a complete surprise, though. >> the timing is just too perfect for the obama administration. just as the administration claimed that there was purely coincidence that our benghazi conflict attack was on the anniversary of september 11. now it's purely coincidence that this extra-marital affair surfaces right after the election -- want before, but right after, but before the intelligence chief goes to capitol hill to get grilled. >> we had heard he may have resigned for personal reasons. one of those reasons was the possibility of an extra-marital affair. we are confirmed it because a letter has been submitted by david petraeus himself. >> i just got off the phone with someone who talked with general petraeus, just in the past few moments. and the message was... a couple of points. one was, tell the truth. it was my request. the white house did not pressure me to do this. this has nothing to do w

and the testimony concerning benghazi. steve bowlan joins us. i appreciate you being with us so is there a connection between benghazi and the sex scandal. no. there is not. it is good to talk with you again. unfortunately under these circumstances n. my general contact with david petraeus, he informed me that there was no connection what so ever with his affair that ended four months ago by the way, and the white house which he had a great working relationship, benghazi or anything else for that matter. it was a poor judgment and lack of discipline on his part and he deeply regrets for many reasons. starting with his family and how much he hurt them and losing the job that he felt he loved more than anything else in professional side and working with the great group of people in the cia. nwhen did the affair start. and did it starpt as report indeed afghanistan when she interviewing him >> those are inaccurate reports based on my discussions with him early on when this started to break a week ago last friday. he told me it started two ask half months ago after he was the direct

about his personal indiscretion. the clear signal is that this was not about benghazi. he's not resigning as any kind of admission of flaws or faults in the intelligence gathering on benghazi. although there will be in the house and senate a continuing series of hearings. there is going to be an intelligence committee next week, and he was supposed to be one of the witnesses. apparently he met with the president on this, and the president has accepted his he resignation. this is the four-star general that led our forces in iraq and afghanistan who came into the administration retired from the military, and took the offer from the president to be the cia director in april of 2011. he will be succeeded temporarily by the depth see cia director, a career veteran widely regarded, highly respected michael morrell. toure. >> thank you, andrea. let's go to colonel jack jacobs. this is shocking news. we don't expect this from a man like general petraeus, with the reputation he's had. what light can you shed on what's going on? >> very little, actually. it's such a shock to everybo

. >>> and the clash in benghazi heats up as charges that the u.n. secretary misled the country about the attack on "meet the press" and other programs. >> our current assessment is that what happened in benghazi was in fact initially a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired hours before in cairo. >> now sparking a war of words with the president, senators are threatening to block her potential nomination as secretary of state. >> the reason i don't trust her is because i think she knew better, and if she didn't know better, she shouldn't be the voice of america. >> senator mccain and senator graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me. >> we'll talk to senator lindsey graham exclusively this morning. >>> plus, the key figures trying to get to the bottom of benghazi and the petraeus affair. chair of the senate intelligence committee senator dianne feinstein of california. and chair of the house intelligence committee, congressman mike rogers of michigan. >>> then after the election, will washington get anything done? talks start on how to avoid the fiscal cliff

the last time the president found the courage to face his suck-up friends, from benghazi to the resignation of a cia director. there were more questions than answers. that's where we begin with the petraeus scandal and whether or not the president believes our national security was ever at risk as a result of the affair. >> i have no evidence at this point, from what i have seen that classified information was... disclosed, that in any way would have had a negative impact on our national security. obviously, there is an ongoing investigation. i don't want to comment on the specifics of the investigation. >> sean: here's the problem, mr. president. your administration has lost any and all credibility when it comes to investigating itself. that includes benghazi because on that matter, above all others, you simply cannot be trusted, which is exactly why g.o.p. senators are calling for the formation of a select committee to lead the benghazi inquiry. let's look at this. >> i think if there was ever a time in recent history for the congress to follow models we have used in the past, it is bengh

team under fire over the petraeus resignation and the benghazi attacks, the president arrived on the world stage this morning for a summit in east asia, and he's got new worries on his mind about the prospect of a war in the middle east as israel and palestinian militants get closer to the brink this weekend. israel expanding its air assault against hamas and palestinian militants continuing to fire rockets into civilian areas of southern israel. that's where i want to begin this morning. i've got nbc's chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell and "new york times" columnist tom friedman. who better to have to discuss this. tom, as the two sides get closer to the brink, based on your experience and reporting, where is this going? >> let's just go around the horn, david, quickly. i think hamas is trying to use this moment to both break out of the blockade and try to end targeted killing of its leaders from israel, and trying to take advantage of the new arab spring balance of power, the muslim brotherhood in egypt, to leverage that possibility. israel. israel has been

in power, it's more about the benghazi scandal and the obama's role in it. he briefed members of congress and blamed the attacks on the anti-muslim video and calling this, quote, spontaneous mob violence. susan rice who on the sunday talk shows misled the public by blaming, quote, on the anti-muslim video so the talking points came from the intelligence agency. that is true? is if so, why did it happen. also we're told that broadwell had access to classified information on her computer. and we know general petraeus traveled to libya to conduct his own review of the benghazi attack, while in tripoli he personally questioned the station chief and other c.i.a. personnel who were in benghazi on september 11th when this attack occurred. now, they all knew this was terror attack and so did our state department. david petraeus is not the only key actor in all of this. we have hillary clinton, eric holder and we have president obama. what did they know? when did they know it? injecting me now jay from law and justice and former c.i.a. covert operations officer and president of diligence llc, mike

are saying all of this is overshadowing the benghazi investigation. the c.i.a. is denying any prisoners were held at that c.i.a. annex in benghazi, saying carefully worded statement that the c.i.a. got out of the detension business in 2009. >> our principal source at the annex on september 11 says there were three libyan detainees who were handed oaf to the libyan security forces that night. our colleague adam housley has sources on the ground in benghazi saying the c.i.a. annex was being used as a processing facility for detainee despite the 2009 exective order signed by president obama barring these black sites. daily beast reporter eli lake reported on january 28, 2009, when he worked for "washington times" there was a loophole in executive order that enabled the c.i.a. to hold prisoners for a few days for questioning. "a little noticed exception that allows the spy agency to continue to operate temporary detention facilities abroad." bret? >> bret: we'll continue to follow this part of the story as well. jennifer, from the pentagon, thank you. congress has not lost sight of the connectio

hearings on benghazi. today marked by heated exchanges over who is responsible for the obama administration's all statements about what happened in benghazi and why. all statements were made by the white house, and ambassador susan rice come over a two-week period. catherine herridge learned today that neither the director of national intelligence, nor the acting cia director, was responsible for repairing preparing a report that partially blamed the benghazi attack on amateurish youtube anti-islam video. they claim the president obama pressed upon the american people and upon the united nations general assembly. he was push hard to explain what caused them to push the youtube video three days after that attack. the chief said simply he was not at the betray -- petraeus briefing and had nothing to say. there was demonstrable and incurable evidence of their involvement and no evidence of anything other than a terrorist attack. and the administration continued to press its false tale, despite fox news reporting and they reported within 24 hours, u.s. intelligence agencies monomania that the a

, david petraeus testified about that terrorist attacks in benghazi and several of the cia andits director in all of it. petraeus contradicted the white house version of why it took them so long to acknowledge the evidence of terrorism, why there were still talking about an anti muslim video when they knew very well that they had attacked and killed four americans. house intelligence committee member congressman peter king told fox news meghan kelly that petraeus acknowledged the cia knew it does he was an act of terror from the very beginning and that the talking points provided to amassador rice were edited by someone after the cia had delivered their assessment to the white house. reis went on five sunday morning talk shows and falsely told america that benghazi was a spontaneous attack in response to the internet video. >> the talking points that came from the cia specifically mentioned al qaeda and that al qaeda was involved in the attack. they left the cia and went through a whole process which i believe included the white house , and when the talking points were finalized, all refer

endemic to the country's work. i learned about benghazi, as the critical changes in libya began to unfold. his leadership there at a time of great importance and danger was a tribute to his courage and bravery. his skill and dedication as a diplomat. to his commitment to a new and better libya. benghazi in a real sense, as you have heard today, became his city. as it is with a deep sense of fate that in benghazi he and his colleagues gave that last full measure for his country and his many friends in the city where he died, continuing to defend and prosper their hopes and their aspirations for the future. many have commented since on chris's salient commitment to the people of benghazi. john thorn writing in the christian science monitor noted that when he passed in the street, the young men would call out, hello, chris. they knew his face. would laugh and say hello always. this is the right way to deal with our people, he said. libyan friends said he was always ready to put his country first. he shone by being himself, interested in the lives of ordinary people. his death was met with sh

. the sex scandal and benghazi. the biggest question that everyone should be asking is did the sex scandal influence benghazi? did the daliances, indiscretions of the general somehow contribute to the response we got and the alleged coverup for benghazi? because people are asking. people are asking why, if this is just your typical crazy sex scand that looks a little too crazy to be coordinated, then why isn't the general testifying? why isn't hillary clinton testifying? why if there are reports he was welcoming testifying, he is not -- >> bob: if there was a rose dying to a garden you would connect it to benghazi. what are you talking about? >> eric: here is what she is talking about. general petraeus said under oath, he raised his hand and said he blamed the attack on benghazi, four heroes. blamed it on the video. said we have known subsequent to that it had nothing to do with the video. >> bob: we don't know it for sure. >> eric: i think we do. >> greg: you know you are on a plane and gaining altitude and like to look out the window to see where you came from and it gets smaller until y

belief is that this administration is trying to run out the clocking when it comes to benghazi. this is a story that changes by the day. what do we know. we know that before the a i tack in april and june of this year the consulate was attacked twice. we know that the british withdrew their -- closed their consulate after the british ambassador was attacked in june. we know the red cross closed their office in benghazi after the attack on the red cross office. we know that on august 15 ambassador stevens and his security team met and discussed the fact that ten al-qaeda groups have been identified to be roaming around benghazi and that they told the state department secretary clinton august 16 if there is a coordinated al-qaeda attack the consulate will be overrun. that is what we know before the attack. during the attack we know that 7-8 hours goes by and not one military person was able to help these poor people for over 7 hours on september 11. after the attack they blamed it on a video, a mob and riot that never existed. the president has been awol when it comes to benghazi

that it may have some very relevant information to what happened in benghazi. >> that's the other piece of this. do you think there's anything to the conspiracy theorists who have suggested that his resignation over this extramarital affair and behavior that he says was not acceptable behavior, a mistake that he made in his personal life, do you think there's any connection at all to benghazi? >> no. i've seen none so far. now, again, as i said, you know, the skin of the onion is getting peeled off. we don't know what we may find. and that's why i think it's very important that we begin, that we have an orderly process, that we not jeopardize anyone's rights, that we be respectful, that some of our investigation and inquiry is done in closed session. some will be done in open session. and we need to make those decisions with the entire committee membership. and i hope to do that late tomorrow afternoon. >> since he did the fact checking himself on this trip, shouldn't he testify on thursday as originally scheduled? >> well, i think we should go ahead with mike morrell and the way it is

gotta taste this soup. >>> right now on "andrea mitchell reports," benghazi showdown. the first hearings on the deadly attack begin as president obama lashes out at republicans for attacking u.n. ambassador susan rice. >> if senator mccain and senator graham and others want to go after somebody they should go after me. and i'm happy to have that discussion with them. for them to go after the u.n. ambassador who had nothing to do with benghazi, and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received and besmirch her reputation is outrageous. >> i knee people don't come to spontaneous demonstrations with rockets and mortars for the president of the united states for two weeks afterwards to deny that was the case, is either a coverup or it is incompetence. >> ahead this hour, one of the republicans calling for a wider probe, new hampshire senator kelly ayotte. and what's going on with the generals? leon panetta orders ethics review. the fbi agent, he's the guy who brought down the millennium bomber. >>> taking out the military leader of hamas and fire from the gaza

exposed days before he was set to testify about benghazi and after the election. is if coincidence or coverup? >> i have a hard time believing the whole story. first of all how an e-mail matter becomes an fbi matter, how it was investigated so many months and it wasn't until election night the fbi suddenly realized it involved david petraeus? if they were investigating three or four months, that would have been the first thing they found out. then should have brought it to the president's attention so none of it adds up. the challenging thing for gen. petraeus, with his new position he's not allowed to communicate with the press. he's known about it. they have had correspondents with the cia in libya within 24 hours they knew what was happening. >> petraeus wags telling her things. she said there was a failure in the system. she said petraeus knew all of this. but that he wasn't allowed to talk to the press because of his position. she's telling people this. now that's pretty serious, since petraeus did brief congressmen soon appear the a tack in a closeddor session and he doesn't

're a member of the intelligence commit, where do you weigh in on this whole benghazi situation? >> well, first and foremost, we have to get to the truth, and as a member of the senate intelligence committee, we're doing exactly that. we have had it at least eight hours of hearings this last week. we intend to have at least three more hearings and publish a report at the conclusion of those hearings. what is most disturbing, in my estimation, is the discrepancy about those talking points and the reality that exist on the ground, and why the administration wasn't able to get the information in a more accurate picture of what transpired and delivered to the american people with confidence, and pulling the pieces together in a way that we knew exactly who was responsible you know, for killing four of our americans and attacking our facilities. and, unfortunately, they didn't do that. it took so long-- in fact, it took 17 days for the director of national intelligence even to issue a statement to say that it was a deliberate and organizeterrorist attack. that's unacceptable in today's environment.
